There's a minor problem in this 2nd patch, it's just preventing the 
cnt == tp->retrans_out short-circuit from working, not a correctness 
problem though it could affect the performance. I'll post larger patch 
series among which is a fixed version (hopefully today).

Thanks. ...It's very interesting to see because it's not that clear
cut how the extra processing that is necessary affects high-speed 
performance, it could add yet another source of RTOs due
processing latency.
